“Some have said that I was very presumptuous to say that Brother Brigham was my God and Saviour. Brother Joseph was his God. The one that gave Joseph the keys of the Kingdom was his God, which was Peter. Jesus Christ was his God and the God and Father of Jesus Christ was Adam.”

Heber C. Kimball – 10 April 1852, quoted by Wilford Woodruff in the Journal of Wilford Woodruff (Salt Lake City, UT: Ogden Kraut), 62-63.
